Look what Thomas Boswell Washington Post and DC are saying about the Sox

Adam Eaton gets to people. They see his spunk and brains, and all the skills he’s battled to acquire for a decade, jammed inside one of the smallest frames in the sport, and they admire him. They notice the furrowed worry lines on his forehead, the kind you see on men twice his 28 years, and they sense how much he’s driven. Finally, his modesty, civility and good humor never vary; so he’s instant buoyancy for the mood of a clubhouse. The only knock: Some White Sox players on lousy teams resented how hard he still played in August. Showing me up?

“Yeah, that happens on some [bleepy] teams,” said Jayson Werth recently. “But that’ll play just right on this club. He’s already fit in here.” from


Fake News?

The Nationals bullpen blows yet another save in the 9th tonight. Dusty Baker is going nuts with potentially best team in baseball, except for the bullpen which is the worst in baseball.

How about Robertson and Kahnle for Robles?

because the Nats wouldn't do that, which leaves us with a closer we don't need

Hmmm, he is not hitting well either. Actually no one on that team is hitting worth a damn.

Let me see if I got this right.  The Cubs start a pitcher (Arrieta) that is p-i-s-s  poor at holding runners on base and "Joe the Genius"[/sarcasm] pairs him up with a catcher (Montero) that can't throw anyone out.  All this in a game when Max Scherzer's on the mound for the opposition and, to quote Rizzo, "We have another catcher (Willson Contreras) that throws everyone out." 

...and no one in the national or Chicago media direct any criticism towards Joe Maddon for this move.   Maddon = overrated.

I was thrilled by Q's performance today. And his strikeouts per 9 keep increasing significantly. I see him sparking the cubs to the playoffs.

Todd Frazier hit into a triple play, and yet a run was scored?   Far out.
